Not sure where you are seeing qualified American, but the order of finish at the SC Qualifier was SG Elite, Nor Cal and then SCVC finished 3rd. SG Elite has an
Open bid from Far Western and Nor Cal already earned a National at the PNQ, therefore SCVC gets the National from the SCQ.
Fun? You mean Volleyball is supposed to be fun??

If a team finishes second in a club national qualifier and earns an American bid, are you saying that they wouldn't be allowed to compete in another club national qualifier (and possibly win it, earning a National bid), or are you saying that they wouldn't be allowed to compete in their regional tournament? Either way, that's absurd. What regions have this rule? |

North Texas region has this rule. Once you earn an American bid at a qualifier, you are not allowed to compete in the Regional tournament to try to obtain a
National bid.

Wow. Even at 12's or 13's, where the National division is the highest level at Nationals?

To volleyball dad:
I am seeing my information at SCVC website. Girls / Events / Jr Nat. Qual. Then scroll all the way down to the boxes at the bottom: Session #1 Qualified Teams. When I open up that box, I see in the LA Qualifier that SG Elite accepted a national bid. NorCal already had a bid, and SCVC-Nike accepted an American bid. So I think what you are telling me is that SG Elite decided not to accept the National bid (at some point in time) because they already earned an open bid somewhere else? Therefore the National bid trickled down to SCVC ....? I really am trying to understand how this system works... and I am not trying to beat a dead horse. |

How can any region justify forcing a team to play American if they could eventually obtain a National bid? The only reason I can imagine, which is not
justifiable, is for the money.

National would not trickle down to SCVC, but would go to the reallocation pool. If they got the Open bid first they
the National would have trickled to SCVC but why the heck were they playing Club in the SCQ after getting an Open bid??? I am all for teams that have
qualified nat/am playing in club for experience or to up their bid but going from club to open?
Thanks for the PS cdvbv--at least that makes sense :-) |

From the USAV qualifier results link: http://www.usavolleyball.org/media/juniors/08GJO/08QResults/15C-SCQ.pdf
SG Elite earned a National bid at the SCVA JNQ, and subsequently earned an Open bid at Far Western JNQ. The SCVA National bid trickled to SCVC. SCVCs SCVA JNQ American bid went to the reallocation pool. One reason why some regions don't allow their already qualified American teams to try to earn a National bid at their regionals - it keeps the bid within the region (vs reallocation pool), allowing more of their teams to participate in JO's. |
